The week in college football that featured six top-25 matchups and a major upset of a top-five team produced plenty of movement in the new Amway Coaches Poll. The shake-ups didn't extend all the way to the top, but they might next week.

Mississippi State easily retained the No. 1 ranking after their win in a tune-up game against FCS member UT-Martin. The Bulldogs' assignment next week figures to be a bit more challenging as they head to Tuscaloosa to meet Alabama. For now Miss. State stays on top with 41 of 62 first-place votes, up one from a week ago.

Florida State held on to the No. 2 spot. But the Seminoles' support in the poll eroded a bit after a 34-20 win vs. Virginia kept their record unblemished. FSU lost two of its 22 No. 1 votes from a week ago and had an overall net loss of 11 poll points.

Alabama edged up to No. 3 after surviving an overtime defensive battle at LSU in one of the week's marquee contests. The Crimson Tide have a quick turnaround as they prepare for Mississippi State, a schedule date that didn't receive much attention in preseason discussion.

Oregon, which survived a road test at Utah to remain atop the Pac-12 North, climbed a spot to fourth and picked up the final first-place vote.

TCU rounds out the top five on the heels of its impressive win against Kansas State.

Stock up: Baylor. The Bears check in at No. 6 to lead a parade of teams that picked up four-spot gains to enter the top 10, taking advantage of the misfortune of the clubs that were on the short end of the weekend's high-visibility games. Baylor's performance was as convincing as anyone's as they scored the game's last 45 points to romp past Oklahoma in Norman 48-14.

Stock down: Notre Dame. The fighting Irish couldn't overcome a slew of mistakes at Arizona State and likely saw their playoff hopes evaporate in a 55-31 loss. They took an eight-position hit in the poll, tied for the biggest drop of the week, to No. 14.

Stock up: Ohio State. The Buckeyes' impressive victory at Michigan State earned them a four-spot climb to No. 7, grabbing the lead in the Big Ten East and re-entering the playoff conversation.

Stock down: Oklahoma. The Sooners managed to hold on to a place in the top 25 after falling victim to Baylor, but they also took a plunge of eight slots to No. 24.

Stock up: Arizona State. The Sun Devils matched the group of four-position climbers to check in at No. 8, but they might have the most room to move up with a date with in-state rival Arizona and a possible clash with Oregon in the Pac-12 finale on their slate.

Stock down: Auburn. The Tigers didn't take the biggest plunge in terms of distance in the rankings, but their home loss to Texas A&M was arguably the most costly of the weekend. They dropped from No. 3 to No. 9 after that second SEC loss that will almost certainly prevent them from playing for the conference title.
